27 Cowboy Slang Terms for Things You Eat and Drink

If your bread wallet is empty and you need to line the flue, knight the ribbons and mosey to a beanery. Your cookie-pusher will know what you mean when you order any of these 27 cowboy food and drink items.

1. Bear Sign: Doughnuts
*2. Overland trout: Bacon
*3. Blue John: Skimmed milk
*4. Boggy-top: A pie with no top crust
*5. Cackleberries: Eggs
*6. Charlie Taylor: A butter substitute made of sorghum or syrup mixed with fat. It wasn't good, and apparently neither was Charlie Taylor, who was terrible enough to lend his name to the unpopular trail staple.
